ICF
Our team of builders are trained in the construction of foundations and full-storey walls using Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). There are various commercial ICF products on the market, we have selected Nudura for its ease of use and flexibility during the construction process.
ICF construction offers a versatile, eco-conscious and energy regulating advantages to your construction project.
We recommend early consultations between clients, the architect, and our design team to ensure your house plan fully benefits from the ICF product. Integrating the structural dimensions of the forms into the design process ensures an efficient construction process and ensures the floor joists and roof trusses fit perfectly.

Why build your dream house with Nudura ICF’s?
- Wind resistance of up to 250 mph (402 kph), equivalent to an F4 tornado.
Steel-reinforced solid concrete cores ranging from 4 inches to 12 inches provide far superior strength and safety compared to wood. - Your home is less likely to contain cold areas as the insulation is continuous around the entire house.
Concrete forms require less maintenance over time, saving you the expense and effort of continuous upkeep. - Our ICFs are made from 100% recycled polypropylene, reducing waste and your home’s carbon footprint. By choosing an alternative to the wood you’re also helping the planet, as wood framing contributes to global deforestation.
